Re: Below market prices?

IF you are cutting lines, you are in the wrong.. period! Accidents DO happen, however, if you aren't getting lines marked before digging, liablilty comes to play.

How many people have read the actual article and not just the paragraph at top?

I agree, Qwest people are idiots in their marketing and how they deply services.. WAY behind the time. However, Qwest seems to have alot of valid complaints against this company. If this service is selling under cost and putting Qwest at a dissadvantage, there are serious reprocussions.

What is cost for one company is not for another. If I provide it for .25 a gig and they need .37 for a gig then how am I undercutting them ? I am only passing savings to my customers with lower costs. Why should I have to raise my rates because others can't compete ? That does not sound competitive to me.

The story never said they were selling under COST. It claimed they were selling under MARKET PRICE. I think that just moves the market price down.

The line was cut but that happens in any major underground project and the contractor has insurance for that. Qwest construction cuts lines too. The cost of repair is always paid by insurance the contractor has, etc.
